The Ostarian Dogman army of Simon Hutchinson

This short article and its pictures are a treat for players of Flintloque and Slaughterloo. The owner of this wonderful Dogman army in the pay of the Emperor Klaffenhund sent me these images last year and what with one thing and another it has taken me until now to show them off on our blog. So without further ado here is Simon Hutchinson's Ostarian Army.

Every image is followed by a short account of it and all the pictures were taken during a game of Slaughterloo in Australia between Mr Hutchinson and Mr Ward with his Orcish and Grand Alliance army (who took the day by the thinnest of margins I am told).

A battery of Ostarian field guns prepare to fire!

Cavalry clash at the crossroads!

Hussars lay about themselves against enemy Orcs and Dwarves

Orcish Dragoons are thinned as the Dogmen Hussars push ahead

Lethal Volley! This adds to the mighty of the artillery shooting

The two armies lined up before plat commences

I think you will agree that the miniatures look lovely as does the gaming table with its terrain. I really like the buzz and feel of the battlefield and it is to the players credit. At the moment the Dog Army as shown consists of the following units and officers.

Emperor Klaffenhund

General Wagsalittle

General Woofington

General Barksalot

General Digsabit

These are taken from the following codes if you wish to have a look on the Alternative Armies website and of course if you want Slaughterloo the rules you can have them as a digital download HERE. LE020 Emperor Klaffenhund and 56510 Dogman Command.
